Dr. Lisa Davis , LPC

Dr. Lisa Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in the Atlanta area who brings doctoral and graduate training to her clinical work. She holds a PhD in Counseling, a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology, and a Master of Arts in Communications and Training - credentials that reflect advanced study in counseling, psychological theory, and effective communication and training methods.

She works with individuals facing a range of concerns, including personality disorders, trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief. Her practice emphasizes meeting people where they are and creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult emotions and life challenges at their own pace. She encourages clients to take steps toward growth and to experiment with new ways of coping and relating.

Dr. Davis describes her approach as person-first, aiming to prioritize each individual’s needs, values, and goals. Her enthusiasm for counseling is evident in the care she brings to her work, and she seeks to support clients who are ready to challenge themselves and pursue meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to shift them - a common choice for depression, anxiety, and many stress-related concerns. The Gottman Method offers structured tools for improving communication, reducing conflict, and strengthening relationship connections, making it a good fit for couples and family work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Davis and other licensed professionals typically work with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences and then adapt techniques from one or more approaches to create a tailored plan. Clients are invited to give feedback and adjust the work as it progresses.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - it can fit into busy schedules, allow ongoing support despite geographic moves, and provide a variety of ways to engage depending on comfort level. These options help maintain continuity of care and make it easier for people to practice skills between sessions and stay connected with their therapist.
